Why Give?

God has blessed each of us with gifts—our talents, time, and resources. As faithful stewards, we are called to use these gifts to build His Kingdom, support the Church’s mission, and help those in need.

Rooted in the Diocese of London’s pastoral plan, Embracing a Future Full of Hope, giving is not just a financial act—it is an expression of faith. Through our generosity, we strengthen parish communities, care for the vulnerable, and become living signs of Christ’s presence in the world.

You can support both your local parish and the diocese in a variety of ways:

• Weekly offertory and special collections through your parish

• Online donations to diocesan ministries and appeals

• Planned gifts, including bequests and gifts of stock, to leave a lasting legacy

• Donations of Share

Online Giving

Giving online is secure, easy, and flexible. The Diocese of London partners with Pllenty to facilitate online donations through the Diocesan Centre.

With online giving, you can:

• Make a one-time or recurring donation

• Direct your gift to specific diocesan ministries or appeals

• Make a gift in memory of a loved one

• Receive an official tax receipt from the Diocese

Parish Giving: Pre-Authorized Contributions

Many parishes offer pre-authorized giving, allowing you to set up scheduled automatic contributions. This ensures steady support for your parish’s mission while reducing the need for cash or weekly envelopes.

Benefits of Pre-Authorized Giving:

• Provides stable funding for your parish

• Flexible scheduling—monthly or custom intervals

• Reduces administrative work—maximizing your impact

Donate Securities (Gifts of Shares)

A tax-efficient way to support the mission of the Church

Donating publicly traded securities—such as stocks, bonds, or mutual funds—is one of the most effective ways to support the Diocese of London.

When securities are donated directly, donors may avoid capital gains tax while receiving a charitable tax receipt for the full fair market value of the gift. This often allows you to give more than you might through a cash donation.

Why consider a gift of securities?

• Eliminate capital gains tax on appreciated securities

• Receive a charitable tax receipt for the full market value

• Support diocesan ministries, appeals, or designated funds

• Honour the memory or legacy of a loved one

Gifts of securities can be directed to diocesan programs, special appeals, or legacy-focused funds.

To begin a gift of shares or to request transfer instructions, please contact:

Leave a Lasting Legacy

Legacy giving is a powerful way to support the Church’s future. A planned gift—such as a bequest in your will, a gift of securities, or a life insurance policy—ensures your faith lives on through ministries that matter to you.
